Good thing kendo only uses sticks that look like swords. Which is why I refuse to practice kendo as it happens.

Momo could practice Panzer Kunst, though.

Sword canes would count as a concealed weapon though.
And in any event a confident attitude and not looking like a target while staying clear of the danger areas is your best defense. That and a section of infantry with automatic weapons and a radio.
So, here it was 10:30 on a Sunday morning and I thought to do the WCDT for the week to give JW a bit more of a break, only find that he'd gotten a real early start on the week. Maybe next time.

By definition kendo is only practiced with shinai (what Momo is holding, also wielded once by Pintsize, which I mentioned in the last thread), basically bundled bamboo rods in a swordish shape. Outside of anime, the worst they can do is bruise or pinch. You can probably carry it anywhere, although you'll earn odd looks for being out of the ordinary, because if you don't know what it is it's not very threatening, and if you do know what it is, it's still not very threatening. Using actual swords is called kenjutsu.

Most of them are already considered initiated. My read is that Emily was the logical choice,and Faye was the funny choice.
